In a recent statement, defender Salcedo expressed hope for future national team selections, particularly leading up to the 2026 World Cup. He recounted a supportive gesture from coach Javier Aguirre earlier this year, which reignited his aspirations for international play.
Salcedo’s Journey to Recovery
Salcedo, 32, recently underwent surgery and is eager to regain his form. He stated that Aguirre reached out to him after his operation.
“He messaged me and called. I chuckled and said, ‘When I was healthy, he didn’t call me, but now that I’m injured, he reaches out,’” Salcedo remarked.
Future Ambitions
As he looks ahead, Salcedo knows he has the Apertura 2025 and Clausura 2026 leagues to demonstrate his worth. He aims to match the skill he previously displayed in Liga MX with teams like Chivas, Tigres, and Cruz Azul.
- Age: 32
- Previous Teams: Chivas, Tigres, Cruz Azul

Confident in his abilities, Salcedo declared, “I see myself at the 2026 World Cup. It’s always been in my DNA. I’m not afraid. Some may view it as arrogance, but for me, it’s confidence.”
This statement highlights not only his determination but also his readiness to contribute significantly to the team when the opportunity arises. As the World Cup approaches, players like Salcedo are focused on proving their potential on the international stage.
